ABOUT BOOK

Nikki Stone has writer's block. As a romance author, this isn't the first time, but after her book gets shredded for sex scenes written like “someone who's never had sex before" she's stuck. The problem? She’s a demisexual woman who has never had sex. The solution? Listen to the advice that she just needs to get laid. But after trying and failing on her own, Nikki turns to the one person she trusts can help her get some hands-on research: her friend and roommate James.

James Warren is perfectly happy with his life. He enjoys being an assistant manager/bartender at The Sleepy Siren, having casual hookups with people he isn’t attracted to as a demisexual man, and living with his three closest friends. He definitely doesn’t have any desire for something more. And he’s definitely not in love with NIkki Stone. Even if he can’t stop thinking about her–their shared caffeine addiction, her magpie tendencies, and definitely not her massive brain.

But when Nikki realizes he might have the perfect expertise to be her sexy mentor and asks him for help–telling him she’ll ask someone else if he says no–what can he do but say yes? With time ticking towards her deadline–and her publisher’s last extension coming to an end–it’s now or never. As the two of them explore each other’s bodies during their spicy lessons, while trying to keep their hearts out of it, they’ll realize that maybe there was more to their friendship all along.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Emily B Rose grew up addicted to storytelling in all its forms, and always knew she would have a career in something creative. With a bachelor's degree in creative writing, she settled on books as her favorite form of storytelling, though you will still find her glued to the tv watching her favorite sitcom or nerdy movie series, or belting show tunes in her apartment (to the annoyance of her cats).

California born and raised, she can be found wherever the closest beach or bookstore is, or curled up at home trying to convince her cats to cuddle with her 24/7.

Emily is a proudly fat, demibisexual, ADHD woman who wants her stories to reflect people often ignored, especially in love stories. She hopes her books will make people feel less alone, and affirm that everyone deserves the love story of their choosing.

With a name like Melissa Whitney she had two choices become a Real Housewife or a romance novelist. Lucky for us Andy Cohen hasn't called yet, so she chose to be a writer. Melissa hails from Western New York but lives in Southern California with her husband and their rescue pugs.

When she's not reading a good book, brewing a cup of tea or hunting for a delicious pastry, she's writing contemporary romances. Melissa taps into her experience as a disabled woman/trauma survivor and her master's in social work to write stories that explore themes of disability, mental health, trauma, autism, grief/loss, and healing in the swooniest and steamiest ways as possible. LIfe is not a romcom nor a melodrama; it's somehwere in-between and so are Melissa's books.
